About the charity
Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We transform lives by delivering high-quality, person-centred support that fosters independence and empowerment.

Our charity was founded in 1988 and we were one of the pioneers of the ‘Care in the Community’ agenda, enabling people to move out of long-stay institutions and live more fulfilling lives.

Since then, we’ve remained leaders in social care, providing bespoke support to thousands across the UK. Today, we support more than 2,600 people and employ 6,600 caring and committed colleagues across England and Scotland.

We have a proud history of breaking boundaries and are always looking for new ways to make a positive difference through bold ideas, innovative projects and impactful partnerships.

Who you’ll be supporting
About me: I have Autism and LD. I am independent around medication. I have a good sense of humour, but it can take me a while to get used to new faces as I can become anxious as I worry new people don't know me. I like to have regular contact with my family, especially my Mam.

My home
I live in a bungalow by myself. I am independent around my home and like things to have their place.
